Once the butter is melted, turn heat up to bring the butter just to a boil. With the machine running, very slowly drizzle ¼ of the hot butter through the feed tube drop by drop, being sure each drop is incorporated with the yolks before adding the next. This step should take about 5 minutes. Once the mixture is emulsified and homogenous, slowly add remaining butter until incorporated, about 1 minute. Sauce will thicken to a mayonnaise consistency. When all butter has been incorporated, add the lemon juice and pulse to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. Serve while still warm.
